Resident Plans

Use this guide to determine the best meal plan for your eating habits.

Is breakfast the most important meal of the day for you, or are you the type who can only stomach coffee in the morning? Do you skip lunch every day or do you feel compelled to gorge at noon? Perhaps you're a light eater with a passion for vegetarian eating. When it comes to food, everyone has a style of their own—which is why we offer four different resident plan options.

Things You Should Know

Resident meal plans are mandatory for students who live in Redwood, Sunset, Cypress, Canyon & Creekview Suites, and Creekview Apartments.

Plans use J points only and are bought by the academic year.

Points may be redeemed at all dining locations. (See sample menu using J points)

Customers who use J points get a 67 percent off the regular full price of food at the J and 25 percent off at all other dining locations. (See Cost Comparison Chart)

Half of your J points are added to your account at the beginning of each semester. At the end of the fall semester, any unused J points will roll over to the spring semester. Points expire at the end of the academic year.
